Scuff Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Tamiya 1/48 DH Mosquito FB MkVI Tamiya Sky underside Xtracrylix RAF Extra Dark Sea Grey top side Scratch built lead wire seat belts Self designed and produced canopy cut out masks I made this kit to be given to my father. He's the one who started me modelling many moons ago, and the Mossie is his favourite aircraft. A nice detailed interior with home made lead wire seat belts. I decided that I wouldn't paint iot the 'normal' cammo pattern, and upted for the Extra dark sea grey to side with Sky underneath. I designed the canopy masks using Adobe Illustrator and cut them out on a cutter/plotter using masking film. Thanks for looking. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich G Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Lovely build, I really like the level of weathering you've achieved, I have a half complete 1/72 version of this kit and was doing it in these markings as I think they stand out against all the usual grey/green mossies. Great job, well done. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
